Boys

Talking with teens about consent can feel awkward, but it’s a critical conversation for their safety and well-being. In this episode, we talk about consent with CHC psychologist and Director of Clinical Training, Dr. Carlina Wheeler. Join us for this conversation as we consider what consent really means and why it’s essential in all relationships. We’ll explore practical ways parents can open the conversation, even when their teen seems unwilling to engage, and discuss situations where consent is not possible, such as when someone is under the influence or pressured. Tune in for insights and strategies to help your teen navigate boundaries with confidence and respect.

Join our guest host, Natalie Tamburello, Community Engagement Manager at CHC, in a conversation with CHC expert, Dr. Tracy Cavaligos, licensed psychologist, as they discuss navigating terminology and supporting children around exploring gender identity. In this episode you’ll learn about different terms and when to use them, how to support your child's natural gender exploration and resources to support their journey. As a result, you’ll see the joy of your child becoming comfortable expressing their true and authentic selves.
